Persist and retrieve repository-specific knowledge using AGENTS.md files. Use when you want to save important information about a codebase (build commands, code style, workflows) for future sessions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

* Repository memory: Use AGENTS.md in each repository root to store and access important information.
  - If this file exists, it will be added to your context automatically.
  - If missing, you should create it unless the user has explicitly asked you to not do so.

* Store and maintain **general knowledge** that will be helpful for most future tasks:
  1. Repository structure
  2. Common commands (build, lint, test, pre-commit, etc.)
  3. Code style preferences
  4. Workflows and best practices
  5. Any other repository-specific knowledge you learn

* IMPORTANT: ONLY LOG the information that would be helpful for different future tasks, for example, how to configure the settings, how to setup the repository. Do NOT add issue-specific information (e.g., what specific error you have ran into and how you fix it).

* When adding new information:
  - ALWAYS ask for user confirmation first by listing the exact items (numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.) you plan to save to AGENTS.md
  - Only save the items the user approves (they may ask you to save a subset)
  - Ensure it integrates nicely with existing knowledge in AGENTS.md

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add openhands/extensions/agent-memory@sha256:f91fb602088b1473

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260211.a247a15, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
